GUWAHATI: The Election Commission (EC) on Saturday ordered re-polling in four polling stations of Assam on April 20 following EVM-related discrepancies and other anomalies.
The polling stations are 107A- Khothlir LP School and 107- Mualdam LP School polling stations in Haflong (ST) constituency, 149-Indira MV School (Right) in Ratabari (SC) seat and 463- Madhya Dhanehari LP School in Sonai constituency.
In Ratabari (SC), the repolling directive came in wake of an EVM being discovered from a vehicle belonging to the wife of sitting MLA Krishnendu Paul who is a BJP candidate from the nearby Patharkandi constituency in the Barak Valley. Karimganj deputy commissioner has already ordered a magisterial enquiry into the incident to probe why the polling officials carried a polled EVM in an unauthorized vehicle.
